i love wreaths on front doors. here are four of my faves that i found on pinterest. aesthetically, the cob one is not the best, but i love the idea.Â
things to consider:
- the gourds are probably quite heavy on a wreath, so when using them it’s important to attach them well.Â
- think about how much traffic is going in and out of your door. it’s important the wreath does not fall or bash into your door too much.
- how much direct weather the wreath will have to endure when choosing which kind to make or purchase. the sun, rain, wind, varying temperatures and snow can all do a number on your wreath.
our front door has a large window, so i have to be mindful not to scratch the glass with wires or other materials. it’s also a good idea to make the back of the wreath pretty, so that it is pleasing to the eye from inside as well.Â

Inspired by a neighborhood that is becoming progressively more ‘wreathy’ over the years, I made three for our door last year … One fall motif, one for Halloween and one for Christmas. It was nice to have a decoration on the house!
wreathes are a perfect house decoration. are you making more wreaths this year, loulou?
Number one, the hydrangea wreath, is GORGEOUS. Love it! I once sent my mother a wreath for Easter I bought from Williams Sonoma that was made from vintage Easter cards. She uses it every spring, so pretty!
